Will My Insurance Pay for This Service?

There are many different types of solutions to water issues in your crawl space, including drainage, vapor barriers, encapsulation, and foundation waterproofing. Crawl space professionals can also address other building issues by installing new insulation or foundation jacks and stabilizers.
These materials limit water vapor passing through walls, floors and ceilings. Vapor barriers are important to prevent damage caused by mold, mildew and fungus.
Encapsulation is a holistic process to seal off and prevent moisture, pests, and outside air. It can also improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency. Professionals cover the crawl space’s walls and floors with a polyethylene barrier similar to the lining used in some swimming pools.
Creating a healthy crawl space environment is fundamental to protecting and preserving your home. Our crawl space encapsulation work can improve air quality, prevent mold growth, increase energy efficiency, fend off pest infestations, extend the lifespan of your home’s structural supports, and increase your home’s resale value.
Water can wreak havoc on your home’s important structures, damaging your foundation and interior spaces below grade. Foundation waterproofing stops water from seeping into the foundation, helping to prevent leaks, cracks, mold growth, and other problems. We apply different techniques based on the problems affecting your particular crawl space, including installing protective membranes to stop water and drain tile systems to channel groundwater away.
Sump pumps move water from your basement to the outside of your home. The sump is a hole carved below the main surface of your basement floor to hold the pump that diverts this dangerous water.
